IMPROVEM ENT IN COAL-STOVES.y

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 54,526, dated May S, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, WlLLIAM H. GANDEY, of Lambertville, in the county of Hunterdon and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Smoke-Consuming Stove; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled `in the art to make and use the saine, reference being had to the aeeompanying drawings, forming a part of 'this specification, in whichl Figurel is a vertical central section of my invention; Fig. 2, a detached external view or elevation of the inner cylinder and iirepot pertaining to the same.

i parts.

The object of this invention is to obtain a stove of simple construction, which will consume the smoke and also radiatealarge amount of heat from a given quantity ot' coal, the inl` vention being applicable to all kinds of stoves.

A represents the base of the stove, which is hollow and contains an ash -pit, B, and C `is the grate, which maybe constructed in any proper manner and secured to a bar, c, in the upper part of the base.

D is the external cylinder of the stove, which may be constructed of sheet-iron, and rests upon the base A, said cylinder being provided with a top or cap, and having the smoke-pipe E communicating with its upper part, as shown clearly in Fig. 1.

F represents the nre-pot, which may be of inverted conical form, and is directly' over the nre-grate C. The upper edge of this fire-pot is in contact with the inner surface of the cylinder D, and forms a partition in said cylinder, as shown at b.

G represents a slightly conical chamber, the lower end of which is less indiametcr than the upper end of the tire-pot F. This chamber G is also of cast-iron and cast with the tire-pot F, the former being connected with the latter by lugs c, between which thereare draft-passages H, three, more or less, the lower ends of which communicate with the cylinder D, just below the upper edge of the lire-pot, and the upper ends communicating with theupper part of the chamber G. The spaces d, between the passages H, are the draft-openings from the tire-pot.

l is a cylinder fitted on the upper end of the chamber G, and extending up through the top ot' cylinder D, and having a cover, c, tted in it.

The tire is made by placing kindling material in the lire -pot F, and filling the chamber G with coal or other fuel used, up to the oritices of thepassages H, the fire being supplied with fuel from time to time, as required, through the top ot' cylinder I. The fuel in G will be ignited in consequence ot' the draft passing down through it, as indicated by the arrows l, said draft passing from the base A, up through the passages H into G, causing the smoke to pass through a large mass of live or heated coals and to be entirely consumed. The other products of combustion pass from the fire-pot through the openings or spaces d into the cyl inder D, and up through the latter into smokepipc E, as indicated by arrows 2.

rIhus by this simple arrangement a very efcient smokeconsuming stove is obtained, and at the same time a good heat-radiator. Wood and bituminous or anthracite coal may be used for fuel.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Thc-tlre-pot F and chamber G, in combination with the draft-passages H, draft-spaces d, external cylinder, D, and base A, all arranged substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth.
